Application mm1 January 17, 1910. s'er'ial No. 538,537.

Be it known .that we,

ish subjects, both residents of 506 Besserer street, in the city ofOttawa, in the Provlnce of Ontario, in the Dominion of Canada, haveinvented certain,y new vand useful Improvements in GarmentlCreasers; andwe 'do here'- by declare that the following is a full, clear, and exactdescription of thesame.

-The invention relates to im rovements in garment creasers, as describein the present specification and illustrated in the accompanyingdrawings that form partof the 15 u be creased by an electric iromngappliance,

without removal from the body -of the The objects of the invention areto provide a simple appliance which may be used by .the indlvidua at hishome or by tradesmen for pressingv clothes, that is ironing a propercrease in them in a ver few minutes, and generally to devise an eilclentand chea electric creaser easilywithin the reach of a l consumers.

In the drawings, Figure 1` is a perspective view of the creaser complte.Fig. 2 is an enlarged sectional view of a rotary iron and j a portion ofan arm.

l I I f o Llke numerals of reference mdlcate correthe arms 1 preferablyof wood or other nonconducting material though the arms themselves mayform the handles if desired.

7 are tubesv having threaded ends 8 andl 9 and extending through theholes 5 being ri 'dly heldto the enlarged end of the arms 1 y the nuts10 and 11, said tubes forming the bearings 12 and 13.

' 14 are resistance coils rigidly secured l around the tubes 7 betweenthe bearings 12 and13, said coils 14 being electrically connected with asuitable electric current supply by the wires 15 and 16 leading throughthe holes 17'and`18 and through the tubes 7.

19 isinsulation around the coils 14.

20 are drums or rotaryirons 4preferably having the removable heads 21and the'fxed heads 22, said heads 21 and 22 being centrally j ournaledon the bearings 12 and 13.

23 are nuts holding the washers 24 securely on the reduced fouter endsof the tubes 7.

In the voperation of this appliance, the wires 15 and 16 are suitablyconnected to an electric current supply and the handles 6 taken ineither one or two handsvand the arms 1 operated in a similar manner tothe vopening and closing-of shears, the leg o'f the trousers is-'thengrlpped between. the drums slightly dampen at the crease, the drums arethen brought together and rolled up and down the said trouser leg untilthe crease'is perfectly formed.

The drums or rotary irons are, of course, heated by the resistancecoils- 14 and in this connection it may be pointed out that these rotaryirons' may not be constructed Patented Aug.9, 1910.

20, the trouser lel previouslyhaving been cisely as set forth in detailherein, and 1tA is y possible .to make modifications within the scope ofthe claims without departing from the spirit ofthe invention'.

IVhat we claim as our invention is:

1. In garment creasers, a" pair of arms pivotally joined intermediate oftheir length, tubes extending from saidarmsI at their outer ends andrigidly held thereto and forming bearings, resistancev coils rigidlysecured to said tubes between said bearings,

wires .extending from said resistance co1ls through said tubes andadapted to connect said coils to an electric current su ply, and drumsjournaled on said tubes an forming rotary ironing members and inclosingsaid resistance coils and lheated thereby.

2. In garment creasers, a pair of arms off- 4 set centrally andpivotally joined at said offset, said arms having suitable handles andenlar ed outer ends and Vholes in said v,enlarge outer ends, tubeshaving threaded ends extending through said holes, nuts rigidly securingsaid tubes to said arms, resistance coils rigidly supported on saidtubes, wires extending from said resistance coils intojsad Ontario,Canada, this 1l th day -of January, tubes and therethrough and adaptedto con- 1910. l nect said coils to an electric current supply, ROY K.ASEL'STINE drums', having removable heads and jouri v naled on saidtubes and forming rotary` iron- GEORGE W' LANGDON'A ing members, andnuts forming-keepers` on lWitnes'ses:

fthe outer ends of said tubes. REN A. LIGEON,
